| Saturn 1 SA-5 |
| If anyone tells you that SA-5 was not the coolest rocket ever flown they are only demonstrating their lack of taste in rocket coolness. Such people are likely to be found at the local Whatever Mart buying one of those buy-n-fly kits with plastic fins. We urge you not to talk further to them as you can lose I.Q. points just standing too close to such people. Instead, you should buy this kit right now and regain those points that you may have already lost. SA-5 was the first of the Saturn I, Block II vehicles. Launched on January 29, 1964 it was one of a kind. Rather than an Apollo spacecraft, SA-5 carried a really pointy Jupiter nose cone. This kit, although being ant-scale, is very close to actual scale -- in fact it’s as close as we could get it without having to get any smarter ourselves. The kit is in scale with our other Saturn I, Block II and our Saturn IB. It stands just under 13 inches tall (just for luck) and comes with a nosecone that is so pointy, when you hold it in your hand you’ll hear your father’s voice saying “Be careful you don’t put someone’s eye out with that.” |
